Limb Lengthening Surgery | Solutions for Limb Length Discrepancies
People come in all shapes and sizes. And sometimes, due to injuries, congenital conditions, or illness, people experience a difference in the lengths of their limbs. This can make it hard to walk, while causing chronic pain and self-esteem issues. While it’s a difficult condition to experience, I want you to know that it’s one we can effectively address at Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates. Limb lengthening surgery is a procedure that can help you or your child with significant limb length discrepancies achieve balanced limb proportions. This surgery not only improves function but also enhances the overall quality of life by addressing issues related to mobility and aesthetics.
Surgical Procedure:
- Bone Cutting: The bone is carefully cut and a lengthening device is inserted into the bone to gradually separate the segments.
- Bone Regeneration: As the bone segments are separated, new bone tissue forms in the gap, lengthening the limb.
Benefits of Surgery:
- Improved Functionality: Correcting limb length discrepancies can enhance mobility and reduce discomfort.
- Enhanced Symmetry: Achieving balanced limb proportions improves body aesthetics and alignment.
- Long-Term Benefits: This procedure provides a permanent solution for limb length discrepancies.
Recovery and Rehabilitation:
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor bone growth and adjust the lengthening device as needed.
- Physical Therapy: Engaging in physical therapy can help patients regain strength and range of motion in the limb.
Limb lengthening surgery can change lives, transforming a person’s abilities and self-image. We’re honored to help people overcome this challenge. Talk with us at Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates to discuss your options and improve quality of life for you or someone you love.
Stay well,
Dr. Vache Hambardzumyan, MD, PhD, FEBS
